About the role

Role overview

As a Senior in our Business Innovation practice, you will work at the intersection of human-centred design, business planning, financial modelling, and venture validation. You will autonomously lead project workstreams—from uncovering customer insights and framing new venture hypotheses to building robust business cases, operating models, and market launch roadmaps—guiding junior team members and collaborating directly with clients to deliver high-impact strategic deliverables on time and on budget.

This role is for you if

You want to take full ownership of business innovation streams that reshape how clients compete, from early exploration to commercially viable go-to-market solutions. You thrive in collaborative studio environments, enjoy building financial models from scratch, facilitating executive co-creation workshops, mentoring emerging consultants, and defending business viability directly with C-suite stakeholders.

What you will own

• Autonomous execution and content leadership over complete strategic workstreams, several smaller projects, or major work packages within large client programs, taking ownership of content excellence, business case viability, and project profitability.
• High-level strategic storytelling, translating abstract user insights, market dynamics, and unit economics into compelling presentation decks and executive arguments.
• Definition of business models, operating models, and financial feasibility frameworks in multidisciplinary projects led by Strategic Design, Industrial Design, and UX/UI.
• Guiding, supporting, and mentoring Staff, Junior strategists, and Interns on business design methodologies, financial modelling, workshop preparation, and deliverable quality.
• Facilitation of co-creation workshops, client working sessions, and executive presentations.
• Support in commercial opportunities: helping define project scope, estimating effort, and drafting strategic POV materials for pitch proposals.
• Participation in creating thought leadership content (articles, case studies, whitepapers) and industry presentations to strengthen market positioning.
• Contribution to growing the Business Innovation practice, evolving proprietary business design toolkits, and scaling client accounts.
• Cross-Disciplinary Collaboration & Studio Community: Collaborate closely with Strategic Design, Industrial Design, and UX/UI teams to ensure commercial viability and business models inform physical and digital design execution, actively fostering a cohesive Mormedi studio culture and cross-discipline teamwork.
• Quality & Environmental Leadership (ISO 9001 & ISO 14001): Responsible for upholding Quality and Environmental Management System standards within assigned streams, driving continuous process efficiency, and embedding sustainable business practices and circular economy principles into deliverables.
